did any one watch the winter classic game ranger vs flyers and the gong show of questionable calls? The league announced today that Tortorella was fined $30,000 for speaking out on the this suggesting the league and NBC along with the refs wanted this game to go into OT. For once I have to agree with him. Glad to know it is not just the Canucks facing this bs and does show the league pulls the odd string for a different results IMO. How else could anyone explain it. No coach in any sport should have to be put in a position to speak out like this about their game. If Campbell wants to speak about 'integrity' it should start with his office, from the top down. What's with this secret faction of disciplinarians that no one can challenge? What are we in Barbaric Roman times? Campbell is the one who should be issuing an apology to all the fans who are paying money to watch the game, the players who risk their careers to entertain the paying public and the coaches who are doing there best for the games sake. Campbell should come out publicly and issue a statement and reassure all, his office will work harder with all officials to make hockey a better quality game for it's fans in the coming future. What's with this prevailing 'take it or leave it' mentality the Governing body has in hockey? Oh, and lets complain why we'll have to give away the rights to the Stanley Cup Final again this year because no one will watch it. Dancing with the stars has better ratings than hockey. Even Ray Charles could see all the missed calls in that game. No one needs Tortorella to point it out....and if you didn't notice the mistakes then, you're not watching are you.
